The map appraisal was carried out very quickly in the hands of several professional appraisers.
Each of them divided the work into an area and compared it carefully for fear of missing any details.
The level of caution is nothing more than being picky.
A circle of gray-haired old foreigners tightly surrounded the two maps, completely surrounding the booth.
The rich people and dignitaries from various countries under the booth looked at the appraisal on the stage with great interest. Each of these people craned their necks, their eyes full of greed.
Sitting in his seat, Liu Shiba silently watched the movements of Ito Shengjing and some unusual scenes around him.
"Mr. Great Magician, do we meet again?"
A gentle and familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Liu Shiba looked back and his eyes shrank...
It turned out to be the British Commonwealth magic master Baikal whom I had seen in the Bolshoi Theater?
This guy looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact he is full of shit and specializes in smearing China...
Typical donkey shit outside light…
"It turns out it's Mr. Baikal."
When Liu Shiba remembered Baikal's words that day, he became angry and his tone became very cold.
"That day you left without saying goodbye. I searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you.
Since it happened today, I think I have to fulfill my promise. I feel ashamed of my words and deeds that day. At this time and here, I express my deep apology to you and your motherland, China..."
Baikal looked seriously, looked at Liu Shiba and the stupid Zheng Liyuan calmly, and bowed deeply.
"Mr. Baikal, I am really surprised. I didn't expect you to be so upright and aboveboard. You are a true Commonwealth gentleman!"
Zheng Liyuan came back to her senses and smiled with satisfaction.
Liu Shiba was uncomfortable to begin with, but after hearing Baikal's apology, he nodded lightly to express his acceptance of his apology.
Regardless of whether they are Chinese or Europeans, not everyone is a bad guy. After all, there are still a few sensible people who think clearly.
However, Liu Shiba was a little confused, why was it such a coincidence that Baikal met him again by chance?
There are not so many coincidences in the world...
Unless... it's a coincidence?
"I didn't expect to meet you today. It's really an honor for me. I don't know your name?
If you like any gadgets at today's auction, the cost will be borne by me."
Baikal thought about it and said sincerely.
"How embarrassing! My name is Liu Shiba. I come from China. I just come to have a look. I don't plan to buy any collectibles.
Besides, if I fall in love with some sky-high price collection, can you afford it?"
Hearing this, Liu Shiba was a little curious about Baikal, so he made a little joke.
Is it possible that this guy's kind words actually meant he was trying to blackmail me?
However, Liu Shiba still remained wary of Baikal's deliberate friendship.
"I am here to participate in this auction on behalf of the royal family of the Commonwealth, and I am not paying for it anyway.
Okay, now that the auction is over, let’s have a meal together. I have some magic skills that I can ask Mr. Liu for advice.”
After speaking, Baikal smiled politely, gave a European farewell ceremony, and bowed slightly:
"Farewell."
Baikal didn't wait for Liu Shiba to refuse, turned around and left.
Liu Shiba was stunned for a moment. Are you going to invite me to dinner? I haven’t refused yet?
This boy, can he speak so smoothly?
The royal family of the British Commonwealth, Baikal actually has a royal background? No wonder he can thrive in the British Commonwealth.
The moment Baikal turned around, Liu Shiba's eyes flashed with a cold light...
That's right, it's the fluctuation of the red energy stone...
There is a red energy stone on Baikal!
Originally during the magic competition, Liu Shiba suspected that the hidden weird magic array was the work of the Japanese.
Only now, with Baikal standing next to him, did Liu Shiba realize that the magic array was arranged in the magic hall of the Bolshoi Theater
, this is Baikal.
Although he looks gentle and gentle on the surface, he carries an ulterior secret behind his back. Moreover, Baikal has a superb magic skill...
Magic? Illusion array?
Liu Shiba's mind suddenly flashed. Could it be that the person who stole the items in box No. 19 from the third floor of Sotheby's was the one in front of him, Baikal?
…………
At the same time, the appraisal was coming to an end, and nearly two hours had passed.
On the booth, a group of white-haired appraisers were either holding magnifying glasses to carefully appreciate the products; or they were looking through the information. Everyone's expression was extremely serious.
When all the appraisers returned to the backstage, Moran and Thandine Paul stood on the front stage again, looking at Ito Shengjing with gloomy eyes...
Moran stood on the stage and said seriously to all the people participating in the auction:
"Ladies and gentlemen, after the final appraisal by many skilled appraisers, this exciting moment is coming.
Now, the appraisers are discussing the final result, and the result will be announced soon."
Moran, Tandin Paul paused for a moment after saying this, glanced at Ito Shengjing in the audience with a gloomy face, and then continued with a smile:
"I hope that the person next to me, Mr. Ito from the Japanese Military Headquarters, will not feel aggrieved because his collection is a fake..."
"Hahahahaha..."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, but Ito Shengjing didn't care and just glanced at Liu Shiba secretly.
Seeing that Ito Shengjing was indifferent, Moran couldn't say anything and could only glare at him bitterly.
In fact, Liu Shiba was very calm. He didn't believe that map. There was another one somewhere else?
This is impossible!
Unless, the Japanese also got a similar one in Qinling...
Such an accident cannot be ruled out!
Liu Shiba is not worried about Sotheby’s cheating on the appraisal.
These well-known appraisers are all very famous and very wealthy!
All they need is to prove the authenticity of the collection, or to witness the emergence of a stunning collection.
It is impossible to buy off these die-hards with money.
What Liu Shiba is thinking now is, who is the person who stole box No. 19?
After waiting for a while, everyone saw a young appraiser belonging to Sotheby's slowly walking towards Moran, holding an envelope in his hand.
When he walked up to Moran, he seemed impatient and said directly:
"You come and read it!"
The young appraiser was stunned when he heard this and opened his mouth as if to say something. Moran's eyes widened and he said:
"read!"
The appraiser had a sad face, walked to the stage in embarrassment, pulled out the envelope, and read slowly:
"After joint determination by various appraisers, these two maps..."
The appraiser turned his head and glanced at Moran. Seeing Moran's calm look, he felt slightly relieved and read aloud:
"Both these maps are real!"
quiet……
Extremely quiet...
It was quiet for five or six seconds...
Then, the whole place was in an uproar...
Liu Shiba’s smile also solidified on his face!
The results were somewhat different from what he had expected, and Liu Shiba was also a little at a loss.
Both maps are real, how is this possible?
Could it be that the Japanese really have a similar map in their hands?
impossible……
"What?"
"Is it all true?"
"Mr. Moran, please give us a reasonable explanation."
In the audience, many wealthy people stared at Moran and asked.
This is simply an insult to their intelligence!
Everyone on earth knows this saying: There is always only one truth.
At the Sotheby's auction house, the appraisal results of many first-class appraisers revealed that both maps are authentic?
Who believes it?
In fact, Moran himself didn't believe it. He had authenticated Liu Shiba's map with his own eyes and there was absolutely no way it was fake.
Moreover, he also believed in his own vision...
Moran rushed to the booth in a hurry. Regardless of his image, he grabbed the unlucky appraiser and roared:
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can there be two identical genuine items?"
The poor appraiser was completely frightened and stammered:
"But! After being appraised by an extremely experienced appraiser, it is indeed genuine and it is none of my business."
Moran snatched the document from the appraiser's hand and read it quickly. His livid face instantly became more distorted, and he yelled through gritted teeth:
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing first?"
The appraiser felt aggrieved and smiled bitterly:
"I just wanted to tell you, but you kept asking me to read directly..."
"waste!"
Moran angrily pushed the appraiser away, and the guy stumbled and fell directly from the booth.
Moran stared at the mysterious smiling face of Ito Shengjing in the audience, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down the violent emotions in his heart.
Sotheby's has made a big joke. They swear that the final product this time will definitely be a unique one in the world!
Well, now, two things actually appeared...
Moran glanced sideways at Ito Shengjing, who was sitting next to him watching a joke. The anger in his heart aroused and he wished he could tear Ito into pieces...
The Japanese are challenging the dignity of the Commonwealth...
After all, Moran is the president of the world's largest auction house division. He still knows him well, and he swallowed back his anger.
Moran slowly walked to the host stage and said with a smile to the many wealthy people and dignitaries from various countries who were talking about it in the audience:
"I am very sorry for such a mistake. I believe everyone is very curious about the results of this appraisal!
Later, I will ask the appraiser of this appraisal, Miss Sophia, who is also the chief appraiser of Sotheby’s Moscow, to explain to you!
In addition, we always put our reputation first, so please rest assured that we will never cause any losses to you."
After speaking, Moran made a noble salute, turned around and walked aside.
Everyone knows that there is really only one!
………………
Sophia is very confident in the identification!
However, the result of the matter made Sophia not believe her eyes!
Two ancient maps from the Qin and Han Dynasties, superficially identical?
Even the old and new, flaws, curling, etc., they are all exactly the same!
If you insist on saying that one of them is false, then it will be absolutely false!
But, how is this possible?
This is a treasure from the Qin Dynasty in China thousands of years ago...
The appraisers headed by Sophia fell into deep confusion!
These appraisers have at least several decades of appraisal experience, but these two strange maps made them face up to their own appraisal level again.
What made them even more suspicious was that even with high-tech scanning, it was difficult to tell whether the two maps were genuine or fake.
Two things are so similar that even the basic molecules in the material are exactly the same?
This is a miracle...
At this time, Liu Shiba was quietly staring at Moran on the booth, lost in thought.
It is not impossible for this kind of two things to be exactly the same...
But there has to be a prerequisite!
You must have a Pisces jade pendant.
That's right, the Pisces jade pendant that Lu Xiaolin took out from the chrysanthemum and gave it to himself in the black prison.
The weird Pisces jade pendant can perfectly replicate another identical twin...
Could it be that there is a similar Pisces jade pendant in Japan?
In other words, touching the golden order or dimensional space?
The cold sweat on Liu Shiba's body instantly soaked his back...
……………………
ps: At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we will see you there, and the brainstorming is gradually worth looking forward to.
